Assault Response & Care Centre offers 2 - 10 week (Spring and Winter) Women's Groups each year.

ARCC Women's Support Group is a psycho-educational support group for survivors of sexual assault/abuse and/or domestic violence.  Topics are chosen by the participants.  Members share, explore and creatively process information about how to better cope with the impact of the traumatic events they have experienced.

Group participants benefit from best practice methods to strengthen independence and coping skills, decreasing the stigma of victimization, social isolation and reliance on professional intervention.

Previous participants' comments about the groups are:

"I think it's definitely about the stigma, shame and doubt.  But once you start going, you start looking forward to going, it's just a matter of getting going."

"The counsellors were excellent, but for my own personal perspective, it was definitely the peers who gave me my light bulb moments.  I would recommend it, and I was a big sceptic?"

Other groups and workshops that have been offered are:

  • Healthy Relationships

  • Growing Up Again

  • Healing Arts Workshops

Watch this website for updates on groups we will be offering.

The Next Women's Group begins Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011.
